Release of Deed of Trust

On February 14, 2011, Vista and Brown-Lewisville Railroad Family First Limited Partnership (“Brown”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which Vista will sell  all of its interest in the 26.8 acre industrial site it owns at 1323 Fulghum Rd. in Hutchins, Texas, to Brown.

The closing of the sale is contingent on various closing conditions, including removal of an $800,000 Deed of Trust filed by Alternate Power, Inc. on April 23, 2002.
 
On July 14, 2011, this lien was released by Alternate Power, Inc. and has been removed..
